Iconic Halo 3 Map Recreated in Infinite's Forge
A talented gamer online has shared footage of their Halo Infinite Forge recreation of the classic Halo 3 map, Sandtrap. Ever since Sandtrap debuted back in 2007, it has become known as one of the best maps in the series, and now, it’s fully playable in the Halo Infinite sandbox.
